Documentary on environmental alarmism
The documentary “Not Evil Just Wrong” has been described as an anti-AGW film. I haven’t seen it, but I understand that the primary theme is to argue against environmental alarmism and the occasional tendency of humans to let fear drive us to silly policy. If so, then it is an important story worth telling.
The film will be premiered in private showings around the world on 18 October 2009. Various groups have arranged for screenings around Australia, with details on facebook. For those in Sydney, the screening is at Level 3, Manning Building, Manning Road, University of Sydney, and costs $15.

Catallaxy Files- Evaluating Rudd’s Fiscal Stimulus February 11, 2012I am just giving you a sneak preview of my piece in the Inquirer section of The Australian today. You will all have to run up to the newsagency or go on-line to read it. No doubt, it will make me popular with parts of the blogosphere! Gosh, at least Alesina’s paper was published in [...]Judith Sloan
- Should the RBA intervene to lower the Australian dollar? February 10, 2012I had this piece in The Australian during the week. I became interested in the topic during my visit to Switzerland. I conclude that the RBA will not, and probably should not, intervene but it is an interesting topic. The value of the Australian dollar is putting many of our trade-exposed industries under real pressure. [...]Judith Sloan

- More on PHI rebate means test February 10, 2012When I wrote in Incise yesterday, ‘Rebate should not be means tested,’ I did not expect events to move quite as quickly as they have. The government seems confident it has the numbers to get the means test through. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rob Oakshott and Andrew Wilkie have indeed swallowed the government’s nonsensical arguments, but it will be interestin […]Robert Carling

Love to see it, unfortunately the date doesn’t suit. Is there any other way to see it. ?
PS. I think the chicken little is definately a point, ot seems our nature requires an impending danger (millenium bug, ozone layer)
Why would I go and see an out-of-date film. Even the BBC is saying that Global warming aint happening! Haven’t you got anything new and cutting-edge?
Looking forward to it. What are the chances that the Doc maker receives a Nobel Peace prize seeing they’re going by the dozen these days.
Quadrant has a review at http://www.quadrant.org.au/blogs/doomed-planet/2009/10/not-evil-just-wrong-reviewed
A review by Bob Carter? It just has to be from an impartial perspective, I’m sure.
Jarrah:
It’s an opinion piece. it doesn’t have to from an impartial perspective like Algore’s was about AGW from a fat persons perspective.
it may not be peer reviewed so you may not be able to watch it, however we can.
Do you guys want both sides of the picture ?
I contribute to a number of online forums. Current TV has a group focusing on collecting information available on Water stories, though they delve into agriculture.
I’ve been ‘talking’ with farmers about our agricultural system. It isn’t sustainable. I would go so far as to say it is leading us to catastrophe.
Precursor projects with corporate farming occurred in Brazil – actually throughout Central and South America – funded as CIA projects under Nelson Rockefeller. Yeah. That long ago.
What I didn’t learn by reading a biography on him!
I think today I would be thought of as a ‘Conspiracy Theorist’.
I don’t make the stories. I just report them. The best sources ? Progressive Libertarians!

Anyway. YouTube has a 1 hr. 33 min. Infomercial called HOME – by the Home Project. No. It is not about Climate Change or Global Warming.
It is what it is.
Just read an interesting facebook status that relates to this: “If I hear that stopping climate change ‘creates green jobs’ one more time, I’m going to break a window in fury, then create a fallacy about it.” I lol’d pretty hard xD
You lot are hard on my sense of whimsy. Dr. John at Opera is a science writer at My Opera who does not believe in ‘Global Warming’. I do occasionally hear semi-coherent shrieks that it’s all a scam. So I feel rather irresponsible laying this one on you, but resistance to temptation was never my strong point.

Oh, so the extra snow in the Snowy mountains was the sign, the tipping point! It’s later than we thought, but it’s here!! We’re doomed!!!
Chill.
I’ve just read the most creative ‘liveboat scenario’ used in the defence of left-wing ideology that I’ve ever come accross!
From Dave Bath:
Harry Clarke:
Another insidious use of the media to twist public opinion is the film ‘Not Evil Just Wrong’ which I was unfortunate enough to see today – a promo is here. Endorsed by the libertarian loonies – it is a hideous instance of the big lie. Distortion built on distortion with illogic everywhere. It is a particularly nasty piece of propaganda. The junk science in the movie is demolished here.
This is the same person who posts a thread about immigration where he advocates policies almost identical to One Nation’s. He call libertarians loons
I don’t endorse the movie. I can’t because I have not seen it.
I saw it last Sunday. I thought it made some good points (DDT in South Africa, the human desire to be scared) but I also thought it had some weaknesses.
The focus of the film was not climate change science so much as the politics of fear and the consequences of a radical green agenda.
Personally, I thought the producers first film (Mine your own business) was better.
